CAUDWELL CHILDREN IA COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEEI TRUSTEES, REPORT (INCORPORATING STRATEGIC REPORT} Icontinuedl FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 DECEMBER 2022 COVID-19 IMPACT STATEMENT ON STATEGIC REPORT POST YEAR END. COVID-19 had a severe adverse impa¢t on the finances of Caudwell Children during the whole of 2020 and most of 2021. Despite a continued disruption lo society's norms. we managed lo hold several mass participation events and raised millions in the process during 2022. These positive results are eonlinuing into the slarl of 2023 and whilst we may well need lo create some IuTlher readjuslmenls lo future strategies and timings of planned goals and outcomes we believe these will be much smaller going forwards than they were a year or two ago. As has been mentioned several limes above, this once in a lifetime event has been recognised by our CEO and Senior officers, as an opportunity lo review how Caudwe11 Children's services can be adapted and delivered given these ever-changing external laclors. We are extremely pleased by the way the ¢haTily has very quickly adapted lo the new ways of operating and have brought forward some of the planned developmènts regarding remote assessments and virtual workshops. Whilst it was always the vision lo ineorporate technology as much as is appropriate into our future developments, this pandemic has been Ire8led as an opportunity lo expedite these visions into firm practice5 $0 as to reach as many children and families as possible and not allow them lo bè furlher isolated through no fault of their own. We have every confidence in the leadership and team lo continue with this approach Ihroughoul. We do believe il is important and correct lo assure our m8ny supporters and readers ol these slalemenls that we remain as determined as ever to provide our muGh~needed services in the very best way they can be provided in whatever formal is best for the children and families we serve throughout 2023 and beyond safely. INVESTMENT POLICY AND PERFORMANCE Investments Our policy Is lo ensure that sufficient funds are secured for 1000/0 of all the family support equipment, treatment and therapies, at the point families enter the services. As a result of the level of commilled expenditure, the majority of the funds have been reslri¢led. These separate restricted funds can only be used for the intended services they are reslricled lo. This leaves free reserves equal lo just under seven months of the budgeted general fund expenditure. These are slightly higher than the target of six months bul are much lower than the previous two years. These unrestricted reserves are held in case of any sudden decline in income and ensure commitments made lo providing services lor children can be mel lin the form of conlraclual commitments to staff and premises). Where treatment and therapy is agreed over a specified number of years, monies are reslricled in the accounts against individual child cases, which ensures that all monies are available, as and when required. This process is managed in the monthly management accounts by the CEO, and overseen quarterly by Mr Craig Bennell, Company Secretary. As al 31st December 2022 the charity holds total cash reserves of £9.51m of which E9.26m is deposited in a higher interest bearing instant access accounls.

Awareness about dis8bilily and of our work in this area is key lo meeting the long-lerm vision and during the year funds have been raised lo continue raising awareness and reaching those families most in need.

Throughout 2022 we continued to invest funds lo create and enhance a stable long-lerm giving as well as shorl-lerm one-off events with a taroeled 4..1 ROI. COVID-19 IMPACT STATEMENT ON FINANCES POST YEAR END. As previously slated COVID-19 had a severe adverse impact on the finances of Caudwell Childien during the whole of the reporting years of 2020 and 2021. Despite a continued disruption to society's norms since the siarl of COVED, we have conlinued to hold several mass participation events and raised millions in the piocess. These positive results are continuing into 2023 and whilst we may well need to cre8le some lurlher readjustments lo future strategies and timings of planned goals and outcomes we believe these will be much smaller going forwards than they were two years ago. The CEO, CFO and Chairman have abNays kept very light Control on cash flow and expenditure. This strong discipline has served us well in the past, proved invaluable during 2020, 2021 and 2022 and will serve us even beller during the years ahead. We had and still do have reserves lo fall back on as was always the strategy. These funds are not limitless bul they allow Ihe charily some breathing space lor the team lo assess its position in this new landscape and react accordingly. Daily operational cash flow analysis is carried out lo ensure that all known expenditure is lorecasled, minimisecl and planned for. As has always been the case all expenditure is heavily controlled within light expenditure aulhorisation limits allowing only for the vital and neGessary costs. From a "going concern. basis the charity carries out cash flow forecasting based on zero income, guaranteed income and expected income on a six-lo-twelve-monlh lime horizon so as lo best plan ils allowable expenditure. By employing all of the above processes, the trustees are satisfied Ihal the financial management is well controlled and they and the CEO are fully informed and equipped lo m8nage the current situation we all find ourselves in. KEY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL The board of directors, who are the Trustees, and the CEO supported by the Senior Officers comprise the key management personnel of the Charity in charge of dire¢ling and controlling, running and operating the Charity on a day-lo-day basis. All Directors give their time freely and no Director received remuneration in the year. All Directors expenses and related party transactions are disclosed in note 7 lo the accounts. The pay oflhe executive staff is reviewed annually and is increased in line with performance sel against pre-defined targets. Executive team members have their salaries benchmarked again81 similar ioles in other organisalions of a similar nature. Some key strategic largels need lo be managed over several years and as such can be incenlivised via long term bonuses in such a way which can lead lo fluclualions in staff payroll figures year on year. All none service delivery costs are covered by a single benelaclor and are not taken from fundraising income which enables the chaiily lo be more financially effective and recruit the best candidates to do all Ihe roles within the charity, both fundraising, adminislralion an(t service delivery. 16

CAUDWELL CHILDREN (A COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEEI INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REPORT TO THE MEMBERS AND TRUSTEES OF CAUDWELL CHILDREN (continued) Based on our understanding of the group and the environment in which it operates, we identified that the principal risks of non-compliance with laws and regulations related lo charity and COTllpany law applicable in England, Wales and Seolland, and we considered the extent lo which non-compliance mght have a material effect on the financial slalemenls. We also considered those laws and regulations that have a direct impact on the preparation ol the financial slalements SLJch as the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011 and the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotlandl Act 2005. Vve evaluated management's incentives and opporlunilie5 for fraudulent manipulation of the financial statements (including the risk of override of conlrolsl, and determined that the principal risks were laled lo revenue recognition and management override of controls. Audit procedures performed by the engagement team included.. Inspecting correspondence with regulators and tax aulhoiities., Discussions with management including consideration of known or suspected instances of non- compliance with laws and regulation and fraud., Evaluating management's controls designed lo prevent and delecl irregularities., Identifying and lesling journals., and Challenging assumptions and judgements made by management in their accounting estimates. Because of the inherent limitations of an audit, there is a risk that we will not delecl all irregularities, including those leading to a malerial misstalemenl in the financial statements or non-compliance with regulation. This risk inc¥eases the more that cotnpliance with a law Dr regulation is removed from the events and Iransaclions reflected in the financial slalements, as we will be less likely lo become aware of instances of non-compliance. The risk is also greater regarding irregularities occurring due lo fraud rather than error, as fraud involves intentional concealment. forgery, collusion, omis510n or misrepresentation.
